0ntenberger's Foundry. Corner Front
and n, Totally Destroyed.
AT l:3O P. II. yesterday an alarm of fire
was sounded from box IS, at Second and N
streets. The Fire Department responded
promptly, and when the firemen arrived at
the place designated by the box they dis.
covered the Sacramento Foundry, the prop
erty OF ex-Trustee Gutenberger, all in a
blaze. Quite strong wind prevailed at the
time, and as it was useless to trv TO save tbe
main building of the foundry, the depart
ment turned their attention to keeping II
rom spreading to adjoining buildings, and
~ strenuous efforts prevented what for a
time promised to be p widespread confIa-
grafton. While streams were turned unon
the flames that were leaping I'D from tn.
burning foundry others were directed
upon the adjoining buildings, which were
threatened with falling cinders that wera
whirled high into the air and dropped mon
the roofs of the buildings for several blocks
IN every direction. Despite the efforts of
the men, who worked hard and were
wei othcered, the flames spread to the
saloon short distance on the north
ana 1t was only by the energetic way the
bremen handled the streams that this
building was saved from utter destruction
IN the course OF about three-duarters of
an hour, when the fire was under control
the crowd began rushing down towards
second street, and it was discovered that a
two-story frame dwelling. occupied bv
Fred. Dent and owned by Henry Schulz
meyer, was also in flames. A stream of
water soon had the effect of quenching the
hre, which only damaged the upper story,
though the lower part was injured by
water Most of the furniture was saved,
ana the insurance is expected to cover the
loss.
Mr. Gntenberger has been very unfortu-
nate, and thinks he has had more than his
share OF fires, having been burned out three
times. He estimates his loss at S25 900 and
has bat 81 600 insurance.
Martin Colombo, the proprietor of the
saloon which was nearly destroyed, has
Sl,5C0 insurance on his house and 500 on
the furniture, in the Union Insurance Com
pany.
The origin of the fire is unknown. but il
IS stated to have first broke out under the
sidewalk in front of the foundry.

John T. Campbell, who few sessions ago
so ably represented Sonoma county in the
Assembly. He now is Consul of the
United States at Auckland, in New Zealand.
In writing to a friend in this city, under
date of August 30th, he says: "A few
days ago a gentleman here expressed de-
sire to subscribe for good agricultural and
horticultural paper published in California,
aud, as / could not give him the proper ad-
dress, told him to write to you, and that
you would have the publisher of such
journal forwarded him sample copies

prising publisher would send me such a
journal for the reading room of this Consul
late. l receive number of papers and
place them in convenient shape for Ame-
rican readers. We have the Weekly Post
